Why isn't Geralt here?

Beat the game a few days ago. Brilliant story telling. But which character, apart from Geralt, did you personally like the best? Who's performance stood out?

For me Zoltan, because "it's a Dog's life Geralt".

Also playing through again and now going tbrough Iorveth's path and I must say Roche's path was much better. Very dark sinister machiavellian machinations ooze through with Roche. It is the path that suits the dark fantasy of the Witcher 2 much better. Everyone is a bit of a bastard with Roche, and it suits the atmosphere down to a tee.

Because EVERYONE would vote for him. I want to see who everyone thought was the better side character.

Geralt... which is excluded for some reason.

I'd have to say Shilard Fitz-Oesterlen. He is so evil and I love how he manages to play such political mind games all while knowing Nilfgaard's intent. He basically masterminds a lot of shit from behind the scenes, things you don't really realize until the game is over.

Varys is my favorite character from ASOIAF for the same reasons. Although there are many more contributions from other characters in ASOIAF.

Vernon Roche gets the second place for me though. He's such an angry bastard.

@FourWude: Completely agree with your thoughts about Roche's path. Iorveth's reasoning behind his goals ends up pretty extremely petty and quite shallow, leaving me to think that he actually is a lot more of a follower (to Saskia) than an actual leader, like Roche is. Plus, Iorveth is basically gone the whole time on his path. They're both fun paths, but Vernon's and Geralt's chemistry seems to mix a little better and lends to the atmosphere more.

Vernon Roche is amazing. I wish I were as manly as him...
*spoilers*

Then the name of the poll should be "Favorite Witcher 2 Side Character."

Roche is a pretty great new character.

I already voted "Other." And even if this poll was probably named, Roche would get my vote. He's the second most badass badass in the game.

Geralt is the most badass, though.

Vernon "Broche" Roche.

I love Geralt's friends as much as anybody, but Roche is the fucking man.

Iorveth: "Vernon Roche! Special Forces Commander for the last four years. Servant of the Temerian King. Responsible for the pacification of the Malhakanan foothills. Hunter of elves, murderer of women and children. Twice decorated for valor on the field of battle."
 
Roche: "Iorveth! A regular son of a whore!"
 
Roche wins. Flawless victory.

Triss, because boobs. But aside from her, I liked Dandelion and that girl who sleeps with Philippa.

Vernon Roche. An OG of the highest order.
